UEFA FFP investigation - CAS decision to be announced Monday, 13th July 9.30am BST

[Shaelumstash]

City argued PwC were wrong on everything...but settled anyway https://www.spiegel.de/internationa...-and-psg-pact-with-the-sheikhs-a-1236414.html

"The PwC Report is seriously flawed in that it contains numerous erroneous interpretations of the Regulations, false assumptions of fact, errors of law and erroneous conclusions," read the reply. The lawyers demanded that the PwC auditors revise or delete large sections of their report. PwC refused, which further enraged the Manchester City attorneys.

I guess what I’m saying is, if SM was topping up the Etihad deal, it would have been in City’s interest to accept PwC’s suggestion that Etihad was a related party.

Is it nearly injury time yet. Are we 2-1 down?

VAR just ruled out a UEFA goal in 4th minute of injury time. Were going to extra time

We don't have it so we have to join dots. As I tried to do here...https://ninetythreetwenty.com/blog/seeing-the-wood-for-the-ffps-manchester-city-uefa-go-to-war/ and earlier in this thread. Procedural failings at the IC and AC are now irrelevant as the CAS hearing is de novo (deal with the matter afresh)

But can’t it still be raised even if we’re starting from scratch again? Apologies if I’m sounding thick here but I’d have thought we can still raise these concerns?

It never got that far. City rejected the PwC report but everyone agreed to disagree and settle. The key point is none of this stuff in the emails was actually new news as trumpeted. Some of the fine detail may have been unknown (certainly UEFA wouldnt have seen internal emails) but the overall picture was well understood by UEFA. Hence why, I would assert, the settlement should stand and not be undermined.

We can raise whatever they like but they are not valid points. Whether the IC was right to pass to the AC is now irrelevant. Leaks will be relevant context but not material in the decision.

The one time you want a UEFA leak and we're not going to get one are we.

The fact there is no “UEFA “ leak is because it isn’t going at all well for them :)

Are we expecting a result at the end of the day or will this be something that goes into review by them for a few months?

They are saying decision to be made in August.

Ok, cheers. I don’t want us to win on a technicality anyway and want the club to prove that they’re innocent of any wrongdoing.
